Okay. Billy! I just posted a new topic question about treadle machines then not one minute later saw your post. How wonderful to find you. I think treadle sewing is a cult and once you start...
My problem is getting the leather belt tight enough. What's the trick? My machine is in perfect running condition. I picked it up for $100 at an antique shop. my research says it's from around 1900 but alot of records around that time were lost in a fire in Germany. She's a Singer # 05863299. The 0 may be a C. She was well used and loved for a long time and I want to keep her going! Thanks for any help you can share.

Nice to hear about everyone's new machines. I'm on a machine diet myself, but am cleaning out my basement, so keep finding ones I'd forgotten I have or just haven't seen for a while. It's like Christmas without the wrapping paper.

BTW, AllBrands has them new for $99. I'm sure you could find one cheaper if you MUST buy one!!

Luckily, I couldn't afford it, and didn't buy. The quality is not that of the old ones. It's probably the "Nostalgia Model 25".
